that_o be_v not_o till_o after_o one_o and_o another_o admonition_n nevertheless_o this_o make_v nothing_o for_o you_o unless_o you_o maintain_v that_o god_n spirit_n convict_v they_o also_o of_o this_o that_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o believe_v which_o power_n of_o believe_v you_o seem_v to_o attribute_v to_o a_o man_n unregenerate_a though_o you_o be_v loath_a to_o speak_v plain_o in_o express_v so_o much_o and_o you_o seem_v to_o intimate_v such_o a_o argument_n as_o this_o they_o sin_n in_o not_o believe_v therefore_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o believe_v but_o you_o may_v as_o well_o infer_v that_o we_o sin_n in_o not_o keep_v god_n law_n therefore_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n to_o keep_v it_o or_o if_o you_o dispute_v thus_o the_o world_n be_v convict_v of_o sin_n in_o not_o believe_v therefore_o they_o have_v power_n to_o believe_v you_o may_v as_o well_o dispute_v thus_o the_o regenerate_v be_v convict_v that_o they_o sin_n in_o that_o their_o flesh_n lust_v against_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o keep_v the_o flesh_n from_o lust_a against_o the_o spirit_n beside_o when_o man_n quench_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o persecute_v answ_n the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n how_o can_v they_o be_v say_v in_o so_o do_v to_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n go_v not_o about_o such_o a_o work_n as_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n and_o to_o life_n by_o he_o can_v they_o be_v say_v to_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v never_o strive_v with_o they_o to_o work_v this_o work_n in_o they_o thus_o than_o you_o see_v those_o three_o that_o bear_v witness_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o all_o from_o heaven_n bear_v witness_n of_o this_o point_n in_o hand_n concern_v the_o truth_n hereof_o the_o father_n by_o the_o end_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o his_o work_n and_o providence_n the_o son_n by_o his_o end_n of_o enlighten_v the_o world_n and_o of_o his_o come_n into_o it_o to_o die_v for_o it_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o his_o inward_a wrestle_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n do_v all_o of_o they_o real_o proclaim_v that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n and_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n as_o to_o save_v the_o elect_n not_o according_a to_o their_o own_o work_n but_o his_o grace_n so_o likewise_o to_o save_v the_o world_n of_o mankind_n if_o their_o work_n hinder_v not_o his_o good_a will_n towards_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v also_o a_o sweet_a harmony_n between_o the_o purpose_n and_o the_o covenant_n or_o promise_n and_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n this_o purpose_n will_v life_n unto_o the_o world_n upon_o the_o condition_n of_o their_o obedience_n and_o repentance_n the_o promise_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n offer_v life_n unto_o they_o likewise_o upon_o the_o same_o condition_n the_o providence_n of_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n provide_v and_o apply_v several_a mean_n of_o life_n unto_o the_o world_n upon_o the_o same_o term_n and_o there_o be_v in_o every_o godly_a man_n renew_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n a_o just_a concord_n betwixt_o his_o purpose_n his_o covenant_n or_o promise_n and_o his_o performance_n so_o be_v there_o here_o the_o like_a in_o god_n you_o may_v read_v what_o god_n purpose_n be_v towards_o the_o world_n by_o his_o covenant_n make_v with_o the_o world_n and_o you_o may_v see_v both_o what_o his_o covenant_n with_o they_o and_o purpose_n of_o they_o be_v by_o his_o performance_n and_o axecution_n of_o they_o both_o in_o his_o actual_a providence_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n if_o you_o ask_v how_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o purpose_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o

though_o it_o never_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v in_o all_o thing_n obey_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o god_n pass_v upon_o it_o some_o act_n of_o his_o will_n he_o at_o

to_o convince_v it_o of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n which_o argue_v that_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o only_o persuade_v they_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n but_o do_v convince_v they_o also_o that_o it_o be_v their_o sin_n that_o they_o do_v not_o attain_v to_o believe_v on_o he_o now_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v to_o nothing_o but_o what_o he_o know_v to_o

the_o world_n upon_o condition_n of_o obedience_n and_o repentance_n provide_v that_o you_o understand_v it_o aright_o namely_o that_o obedience_n and_o repentance_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n as_o a_o condition_n of_o life_n not_o of_o god_n purpose_n otherwise_o it_o be_v a_o very_a wild_a expression_n to_o say_v that_o god_n ordain_v that_o obedience_n and_o repentance_n shall_v be_v the_o

know_v whether_o you_o exclude_v faith_n if_o you_o do_v what_o ground_n have_v you_o to_o prove_v that_o god_n ever_o purpose_v that_o any_o of_o adam_n posterity_n come_v to_o ripeness_n of_o age_n shall_v be_v save_v upon_o the_o condition_n of_o obedience_n and_o repentance_n without_o faith_n last_o of_o all_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v as_o undoubted_o true_a that_o god_n ordain_v that_o whosoever_o come_v to_o ripe_a year_n shall_v not_o believe_v and_o repent_v shall_v be_v damn_v the_o very_a elect_v not_o except_v not_o that_o any_o such_o conditionate_n decree_n be_v

whosoever_o believe_v not_o and_o repent_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v one_o thing_n i_o have_v almost_o forget_v in_o the_o former_a section_n you_o speak_v of_o a_o purpose_n of_o god_n to_o save_v
